Masquerade (Africa)
MUJAJI
Themes: Balance; Restoration; Weather; Cleansing; Fertility
Symbol: Rainwater
About Mujaji: Mujaji is an African rain goddess who exudes gently with fertility, or fiercely with cleansing, depending on the need. Her power and presence is so impressive that it led H. Rider Haggard to write the novel She, based on her cult.
To Do Today: To purify any area and ready it for ritual, sprinkle rainwater as you move clockwise saying,
Mujaji, flow through me;
Mujaji, cleanse me;
Mujaji, rain lightly here on all I love and hold dear.
If it does rain gently today, it is a sign of blessing. Go our and skip, dance or sing in the rain (think Gene Kelly with a magickal twist). This will renew your spirit and life any dark clouds overshadowing your heart.
=Africans observe this holiday as a time to reinstate symmetry in the world and in themselves. They wear elaborate costumes to appease the divine, praying for the necessary rainfall to ensure rich soil, and consequently an abundant harvest. To adapt this, pray to Mujaji to enrich the soil of your soul so that come the fall, you can harvest her productive nature.
